Royal Holloway, University of London is coming to Manchester! On the 3rd July 2017, we will be holding a 'Discovering the World' event in the Conference Centre at the Museum of Science and Industry. The day aims to provide students with a taste of what it is like to study Geography, Earth Sciences (Geology) or Politics and International Relations at University level.

The topics covered for Geography will include:
